1. Report Cards
Discussion about common ideas for the back page - strengths, growth, strategies - literacy, numeracy, additional comments - achievements, narrative piece of who they are as a student or information that is pertinent - the thought being that all Millgrove reports should be consistent
With that and in agreement with Diane Lander, the default setting should be proficient ( thinking that if your student is achieving at the level expected, then the achievement level is proficient.
IPPs - Achievement level descriptors are expected at for all subjects.
IPPs - If a student is working at on modified curriculum, it is possible for them to achieve exemplary, proficient, or approaching as they pertain to the goals set out within the IPP. For example, if a gr. 4 student's goal is to be reading at the beginning grade 2 level for December and he/she is reading at a mid- grade 2 level, then the indicator would be exemplary. Please speak to Brenda S or Gail F for further clarification.
Tech PLCs - google docs- time to make an exemplar for your grade.
PAT Results - Individual results - Available November 30th and will be put in the gr. 4 report cards.
